The Awesome Skis Company has manufacturing plants in Portland, Oregon and Toronto, Ontario. You have been given the job of coordinating distribution of the latest model, the Superslide, to outlets in Lake Tahoe and Whistler. The Portland plant, when operating at full capacity, can manufacture 620 pairs Superslide skis per week, while the Toronto plant, beset by labor disputes, can produce only 410 pair of skis per week. The outlet in Lake Tahoe orders at least 500 pairs Superslide skis per week, while Whistler orders at least 530 pairs of skis per week.
Transportation costs are as follows:
Portland to Lake Tahoe: $10 per pair of skis; Portland to Whistler: $5 per pair of skis.
Toronto to Lake Tahoe: $20per pair of skis; Toronto to Whistler: $10 per pair of skis.

- WhatYouNeed is an online retailer with operations in Northern Indiana. Their network includes five big warehouses. All of the warehouses are fully automated: packaging is performed by robots on top of electric conveyors. Although the company has saved a lot in labor costs by the use of this packaging line, it has resulted in some excessive waste of material. After some analysis of this waste issue, the company has discovered that the number of product types that are assigned to the packaging line is strongly correlated with the amount of wasted material. Based on this insight, their operations manager has built a mathematical expression that estimates the expected amount of waste from the packaging line as a function of the number of product types in it. The expression is as follows: W = (n-93)2 – (n-88) + 227 In this expression, n is the number of product types you are packing on the line and W is the hourly waste of packaging material (in lbs). Based on this expression, what is the…arrow_forwardWhatYouNeed is an online retailer with operations in Northern Indiana. Their network includes five big warehouses.
